One Top Naval Officer Made Plans To Go Rogue And Play Chicken With Iran

A Washington Post story came out recently
publicizing the reckless behavior of a US Naval commander, and by
"reckless," we should include World War as a possible outcome.

Jeff Stein of The Washington Post published an article Aug. 21
detailing the insane exploits of one Vice Adm. Kevin
J. Cosgriff and how an analyst who blew the whistle, Gwynth Todd,
lost her job and her standing in the community.

Stein detailed, through the use of anonymous sources, how
Cosgriff seriously planned to use three aircraft carriers to pick
a fight with Iran by sailing them up through the Straight of
Hormuz without notifying Saudi Arabia or any of the other
neighbor states.

And that's not even the kicker — he was planning to
execute this action without mentioning anything to
Washington.

Basically, he didn't want to tell them because they would say,
"No."

Duh.

What's even more wild is the deafening silence coming from
mainstream media and the military with regard to this cretin we
had manning America's formidable 5th Fleet.

From Stein's article:

“There was a feeling that the Navy was back on its heels in
dealing with Iran,” according to a Navy official prohibited from
commenting in the media. “There was an intention to be far more
aggressive with the Iranians, and a diminished concern about
keeping Washington in the loop.”
